The Republic of China. A Dream of Mandarin Ducks and Butterflies

Huanrong silently observed the two on the other side, and finally got a clue. It turned out that Lord Baylor still liked men, and he obviously had an unusual relationship with that foreigner. He became even more annoyed, and generously said to a few friends: "Listen! After finishing the book, I'll treat the guests to a drink."

"Oh, brother, did you have a happy event today?" asked the fat man from Zhenglanqi. Huanrong was extremely stingy on weekdays, and he and his friends went out to listen to books and drink tea out of their own pockets. Today the sun came out from the west.

"Let's listen to the book." How can he listen to it, but he still can't help but glance over there. He is also a bannerman, but now he is a poor person. Why does Zai Kun go so smoothly? What do you want?And he can only live on the remaining ten acres of land and the house. He usually spends money very carefully. There is a tigress in the family, and the children are not good at school.He also heard that Kun Baylor's two sons both went to foreign schools, grew up in England, and spoke fluent English. The mother of the two elder brothers has property in England, so why can't he get such rich money? Powerful bitch?Even if the next best thing is to take over the younger sister-in-law, they don't appreciate it.

At the moment, when the brother dies, the wife will belong to the other brothers, there is nothing wrong with it!

After listening to the book, the heavy rain did not stop. Seeing that Kelso was a little tired, Zai Kun immediately suggested: "Let's find a place to rest nearby and go back tomorrow. It is difficult to find a car now." Especially in the south of the city, where the terrain is low, I am afraid that many places have become rivers, and the poor living in shacks have suffered.

Kelso nodded, "Well... I'm tired and I don't want to move anymore." He realized that it was all because of the pregnancy and that he was too old.

"There is a good place to live nearby. We will book a room after reading the book." Zai Kun said softly, trying to make the Viscount feel better.

Without saying anything, Kelso turned his attention to the storyteller on the stage. Although there were many allusions he didn’t understand, he was almost “Chinese” after living in China for more than 20 years. He said it was like his "mother tongue", but he seldom spoke English in China. When he returned to the UK, he was often "ridiculed" by his fellow villagers because he could not update the vocabulary with the times.

In the evening, the two came to a nearby inn and stayed. The room they booked was the largest and most luxurious, but the decoration style was very classical. There was a lot of old furniture, but the workmanship and materials were excellent. Baylor The master also jokingly said, "I'm afraid this is something that was pawned in some big mansion." The implication is that these furniture and furnishings probably circulated from the Bannerman's home, and there are a few high-quality goods.

At night, Kelso was awakened by the noise outside in his sleep. He got up but saw Zai Kun, so he put on a long gown, went out of the house and went downstairs, only to see a group of people gathered around the entrance of the inn When there was trouble, Lord Baylor and Huanrong stood in the middle, and the two seemed to be in conflict.

As soon as the drunken Huanrong saw the Viscount, he scolded without hesitation: "Don't talk about taking over my sister-in-law, and even make a friend with a foreigner. Is this how you are a role model for us Manchus?"

"Don't talk nonsense here!" Master Belle got up in the middle of the night to buy some supper. He was afraid that Kelso would wake up and want something to eat, but unexpectedly bumped into this person. There is no reason to be with a drunk Said.

A few friends of Huanrong also joined in. They were also Manchurians, but they were all under the Three Banners. They had been "oppressed" by the Three Banners and the royal family in the early years, and they were naturally dissatisfied. The Qing Dynasty was not over yet. At that time, these poor people had no salary, sold their land, and almost all became low-class. They had a deep grudge against the royal family. At least one emperor lived in the Forbidden City, and they, the royal family, could also enjoy the glory With government subsidies, they can live a life without worrying about food and clothing (they don't understand that Zai Kun has never received a salary from the imperial court since the Qing Dynasty disappeared. He is doing things on his own and investing to make money).

"Master Kun Belle, a good man, there is a British Fujin who still misses other people's sister-in-law... Now he even likes men!" The fat man said loudly, and he also looked at the visitor. He is in his teens, but his appearance is astonishing. There is a special temperament between his brows, which makes people ignore his gender.

It doesn't matter to him that he is a prodigal son, but he can't bear to say that the viscount is not.

"Don't make foul language here!"

Kelso knew that something was going to happen when he saw the blue veins on Lord Baylor's forehead. If he made a move, the other party would either be killed or injured.He hurried over to dissuade him.

"Kun, let's go back to the house, don't quarrel with them." Kelso pulled the arm of the man he loved, and Huanrong brought four friends. .

"It's like glue, do you know that your man abducted my sister-in-law?" After speaking, Huan Rong staggered towards the Viscount, which touched Zai Kun's bottom line.

Master Belle knocked Huanrong into the air with one punch, and fell to the side of the road more than ten meters away, and almost hit someone's wonton stand.

Several friends were also drunk, and when they saw Huanrong being beaten, they hurriedly gathered around, trying to punish the former imperial family with more.

Seeing Huanrong fainted, Kelso quickly shouted: "Kun, don't fight with them, it will hurt people!"

Lord Baylor, who was about to speak, was wrapped around the waist by the fat man. He swung the man away in a flash, and he could no longer hug Huo'er. Of course, he still had room for it, otherwise ordinary people's bodies would not be able to bear it.

The fat man realized that he was not Zai Kun's opponent, so he cast his eyes on the thin Viscount, got up from the ground and rushed over.

Although Kelso had no power to restrain the chicken, he couldn't tell him to dodge. He quickly backed away, but unexpectedly, his feet slipped because of the wet floor and he fell to the ground...

Zai Kun kicked the two away and hurried over to help them, but Kelso gritted his teeth and said it was okay.

The boss and the guys drove away the drunks who caused the trouble, and the two returned to the guest room to rest, but at this time Kelso began to sweat coldly all over. He felt cramps in his stomach, so he leaned against the bedside and frowned, panting.

"Is it uncomfortable? I'll call the doctor quickly." Zai Kun was about to push the door out after he finished speaking, but he hadn't stepped out of the door yet.

He heard the Viscount grunt a few times in pain, and when he turned around, his lover had passed out on the bed...

This night, Kelso spent the whole night in the hospital, and Zai Kun didn't close his eyes all night, Pu Ying and Yan Lin also rushed over.

"The loss of the child...isn't a bad thing." Sitting outside the ward, Lord Belle said in pain. He felt that this was probably God's arrangement, so that Kelso would not have to risk his life to suffer from childbirth.

The three of them had already visited the pale-faced patient just now, and they sat in the corridor talking in low voices, and more often they discussed how to take care of the frail Kelso afterwards.

"You go back and have a rest first, Yanlin and I are guarding Erniang." Pu Ying said in a low voice, in fact, he was also relieved, just like his father, he felt that it was too much for his mother to have a child at such an old age. It's good to take the risk, their family can still live a normal life like before, and he won't suddenly have a younger brother and younger sister in their twenties.

"I'm fine, you go and rest first, you have to do things during the day, you have to sleep, Yanlin and I just watch over." Lord Belle said to his son, just as he finished speaking, he saw his second son, Pu Xie and Zhou Ping leading him to sleep. Came here with supper and daily necessities.

"Brother, go back, we'll just keep watch." Pu Xie gently pushed open the door of the ward after speaking, glanced inside, and saw that his mother was safe and sound, so he was relieved.

"Then I'll go back first." It's not good for Pu Ying to stay any longer, because there are still a lot of business to be done during the day, and now that Er Niang is hospitalized, she can't handle trivial matters at all, let alone upset Er Niang.

Yanlin quickly stood up and sent him out. The two walked to the gate of Union Medical College, and it was already dusk.

"Go back later if you have nothing to do, and come back with me in the evening." Pu Ying urged, speaking like a husband to his wife.

Yanlin nodded: "Hurry up and go home and sleep."

The elder brother smiled slightly and strode out of the hospital gate. At this moment, he suddenly realized that the so-called "husband and wife" probably have such a feeling, you hurt, I hurt, you are happy, I am happy too, Each other is like a mirror, setting off each other, just like Ama and Erniang, and he cannot establish this kind of tacit understanding with women, because he always loves men deep in his heart.It's a pity that his other mirror doesn't completely belong to him.
